That's a pretty big gap in the curriculum right there. Or did they teach it homeopathically? The less you know, the more confident of your position you'll be?<br /><br /><br />No-one is claiming that medicines are side effect free. They alter physiology, which is *why* *they* *work*. The ones that do nothing (or at least nothing useful) are filtered out way before coming on the market. <br /><br />Modern (i.e. effective) medicine is trialed against placebos, and against the best current competitors, before it ever gets near your pharmacy. Unlike homeopathy: which came on the market when the patient "just not dying for a bit" was proof of miraculous properties. The only physiological effect I'd get from necking a bottle of 30c "arsenic" is the sugar rush from the pills.<br /><br />(Don't believe me? Come watch us do it: http://www.1023.org.uk/the-1023-overdose-event.php)<br /><br />I must find out what institution that you did your MPH at, and make sure I never recommend it to my students.Auntie Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05042427357649111620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940570413170689012.post-58055007308271797182010-01-22T02:12:32.796+00:002010-01-22T02:12:32.796+00:00A bit of satire to keep us going.

Err... OK.<br /><br />And as to sceptics not taking your chosen topic seriously, there is a reasonable answer to that, too: because there's very little appreciable science behind it to prove that it works.<br /><br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/nov/25/homeopathy-nhs-commons-committee-inquiryCosmic Navel Linthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07301190881761763414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940570413170689012.post-64907693638209720552010-01-21T22:28:54.835+00:002010-01-21T22:28:54.835+00:00Why are so many "skeptics" so daft that ...Why are so many "skeptics" so daft that they cannot think for themselves or google answers.
